Sentences with phrase «sea height anomaly»

Sea height anomaly fields from the altimeter constellation, are used in this study.

Although there are other factors controlling the sea height anomaly, it is assumed here that most of its variability is due to changes in the depth of the main thermocline and of barotropic origin.

The sea height anomaly (SHA) represents the deviation of the sea height with respect to its mean.

In this page, we present four daily maps: sea height anomalies, sea surface temperature, altimeter - estimate of the depth of the 26 °C isotherm and TCHP.

These maps can be used to identify warm anticyclonic features, usually characterized by sea height anomalies and a depth of the 26 °C isotherm larger than their surrounding waters; and to monitor regions of very high (usually larger than 90 kJ cm - 2) TCHP.

This visualization shows side by side comparisons of Pacific Ocean sea surface height anomalies of what is presently happening in 2015 with the Pacific Ocean signal during the famous 1997 El Niño.

In general, indices of the annular modes are based on either 1) the leading principal component (PC) time series of gridded geopotential height anomalies at a given pressure level or 2) approximations of the leading PC time series of geopotential height anomalies using differences between sea level pressure anomalies at stations in middle and high latitudes.

Now, since 2007, at the height of the global warming scare tactics about arctic sea ice, the antarctic sea ice extents anomaly CONTINUOUSLY exceeds 1.25 Mkm ^ 2 for 3 years straight now, and is larger than 1.5 Mkm ^ 2 so often for such long times that it is not even newsworthy on a skeptic site.

The authors find that the model they use does well at reproducing the magnitude of storm surges and that the primary contribution to such events in the region are sea surface height anomalies from the Pacific.

Trends in near surface winds and geopotential heights over the high - latitude South Pacific are consistent with a role for atmospheric forcing of the sea ice and air temperature anomalies.

In summary, we showed that the spring temperature anomalies over the WAIS are significantly correlated with sea ice in the ABS, with temperature anomalies at Faraday / Vernadsky, with geopotential height anomalies in the South Pacific, and with SSTs in the southern tropical western Pacific (Table 4).

Top row (a — c): Regressions of the leading detrended Z850 PC timeseries with anomalies in continental Antarctic temperature from M10 (colors on Antarctic land), sea ice concentration (colors over ocean; (note the sea ice colorscale is reversed with respect to the temperature colorscale), and geopotential height (contours).

Figure 4: (a) May temperature anomaly at 850mb height; (b) June temperature anomaly at 850mb height; (c) June sea level pressure anomaly; (d) July - August temperature anomaly at 850mb height; (e) July - August sea level pressure anomaly.

They also find that the primary contribution to storm surges in the region are sea surface height anomalies from the Pacific, with local wind patterns causing small spatial differences in the sea surface height.

The usual Sea Ice Extent (JAXA daily data plotted here as an anomaly — usually 2 clicks to «download your attachment») shows the crazy excursions during 2016 (a lot less Sea Ice Extent due to a very early melt season and a very late freeze season but with the height of the melt not as big as some expected and leaving a lot of ice in - place at the height of te melt).

Indeed, sea level anomalies measured by Topex / Poseidon were over 20 centimeters in the equatorial Pacific when the phenomenon was at its height (and as much as 30 centimeters off the coast of Peru).

The first principal component is significantly correlated with the SAM index (the first principal component of sea - level - pressure or 500 - hPa geopotential heights for 20u S — 90u S), and the second principal component reflects the zonal wave - 3 pattern, which contributes to the Antarctic dipole pattern of sea - ice anomalies in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea sectosea - level - pressure or 500 - hPa geopotential heights for 20u S — 90u S), and the second principal component reflects the zonal wave - 3 pattern, which contributes to the Antarctic dipole pattern of sea - ice anomalies in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea sectosea - ice anomalies in the Ross Sea and Weddell Sea sectoSea and Weddell Sea sectoSea sectors.
